    Important
    Important Ensure that you select all the necessary skills. A service resource can be assigned to an appointment only if the resource has all the skills that are required for the work type associated with that appointment.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Enter a skill level from 0 through 99.99 based on how your business measures skill level.
    Important
    Important Omni-Channel doesn’t consider a skill value beyond 10. If you use the same resource for Salesforce Scheduler and Omni-Channel, then specify a value less than 10 for skills that are common to both products.
  5. Enter a start date.
  6. Save your changes.
    The assigned skills now appear in the Skills related list tab on the service resource record page.
